#ZeroWasteForMay: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Sourced from Nude Foods

So, after a horrid and uninteresting first week of #ZeroWasteForMay, I immersed myself into a new experience: ditching the familiar shelves of Pick ‘n Pay and making my way to Nude Foods, a shop that supports plastic-free grocery.

I mentioned them briefly in my WEEK 1 video diary, but in case you missed it – let me fill you in…

Last Saturday I popped in and the friendly Paul walked me through the process. Basically, they encourage people to bring their own containers and fill them up with whatever strikes their fancy – may it be grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, dried fruit, fresh produce, bread, pasta, dairy products – ANYTHING!

You weigh your container, and then write down its weight with a marker pen. Then, when you get to the till they will subtract the weight of your container from the overall weight.

I don’t know about you, but just the sight of fresh bread got me SUPER EXCITED! They also have this contraption filled with nuts in the centre of the shop where you can grind your own nut butter instantly! With no added ingredients – just nuts!

So, once I finally got some food in the house I could get cooking! As you can see, I racked up three delicious, healthy and zero-waste vegetarian meals with the produce I got from Nude Foods 😊
